hi all, My nexus 7 has been sitting for a while because the battery is pretty much shot. I'm looking to use it for a specific application, only needing a basic ics rom, Bluetooth, and play apps. I want to have as little battery drain as possible so keeping it plugged in will allow me to keep using it and this one app. Any advise/suggestions on a low battery stripped down rom ? (sorry for saying os in the subj)
Edit: should anyone want to know , the app I'm using it for is touchdro, an app that takes my milling machine scales and shows me how far I moved in x, y and z directions via a Bluetooth connection.

I wasn't sure where to put this but any help would be appreciated. Lately my phone gets extremely hot, I'm running froyo 2.2 latest built. And I'm running launcher pro home replacement replacement with only 5 screens. And I have battery indicator telling me right now that the temp of my phone is 105.1F. How do I find out which app(s) is making my phone heat up?
Try looking at what's eating your battery then go from there.
It shows my display at 86% and android system at 8% those are the highest using battery...my backlight is at 50% brightness...would Anyone recommend having that set to auto brightness?
i have my n1 set to auto and it still gets pretty hot. i have not had any issues with it over heating though so maybe give it a try. also, are you running a task killer? ive got security set to low, and it auto kills apps every 30 minutes or so. it seems to help out a bit, saves battery too.
I've had this problem since I updated to Froyo.
After a while, the data connection seems to be used -constantly-
and I really mean -constantly-, I'm also running Launcher Pro - So maybe there's something there?
As an earlier post said, the Screen appears to be the top "battery" user when looking at the battery stats (I've found these to be EXTREMELY unreliable though )
My screen is set to Auto, so I doubt that's where the problem is.
Also, in my case, it's the very bottom of the phone that gets hot (I believe that's where the antenna / actual chipset for the radio is?)
One thing I've found that "helps" so far, is to disable account sync, then re-enable it. Apparently that's what's causing an overuse of 3G for me. This only helps in some cases though.
Usually I just turn off data completely for a few seconds and re-enable it.
Any "tips" on what could be using that much data all the time (Maybe it's not even using the data, but just somehow trying to keep a single connection alive?) would be greatly appreciated. I'm honestly not sure here!
Any ways, that's what I've found out "so far".

Thanks for all the feedback and tips I will try all these things. But I agree and ever since I upgraded to froyo it gets extremely hot. And I'm running launcher pro but I tested it with the stock launcher and still gets hot....who knows....
I'm having the same issue on my nexus. I have a custom rom with stack kernel and ADWLauncher with 3 screens and brightness on auto.
What should i do?

Run System Panel, it'll show you any apps using CPU, and network stats.
Something is clearly wrong with your phones/config/cache/something, my Nexus One stays ICE COLD all of the time even with K9 mail with push IMAP, weather syncing, GPS uploading to my website every 10 minutes, etc..
hello,
i have an htc hd2 and try to install android but all versions i had installed drop battery to 0 after 10 hours
can anybody tell me best android build for HTC HD2?
tks
Hey Sir,
It is always different for everyone, many of these Builds are already really efficient, but here is some tips I would recommend:
- installing some auto kill aps that will kill your aps after your done with it. This really reduces battery usage
-you might want to change from 3G to 2G as that saves a lot of battery
-Reduce brightness of screen to nothing
-turn off GPS
-Turn off Auto-Sync
-Do not use Wi-fi
-Getting a Class 8 SD card i heard decreases battery life as well
Hope this helps,
Luckych
my problem is battery life.
i use advanced task killer , wi-fi and bluetooth off
facebook connection only once per day
Best way to extend battery life...turn your hd2 off.
Just kidding.
I for example use non Sense builds,
and I get about a day of normal usage. If I use the wifi to browse the net it goes down to 10-12 hours. I do not use any task killers.
Edit: now using NexusHD2 build.

now using NexusHD2 build but i dont like the graphics....
i need a android build with nice graphics and good batery life
try one in my signatures. Updated today and most things are working ... hope to get everything working soon !
i am using mdj desire clean.last me for about a day of light usage.
battery problem plauge the hd2 on adroid.its all down to power management.
someone in the forum reported a build that only draws 5-8mah when on standby.which one,i cannot remember,you'll have to do your homework.
one thing's for sure,unless u get a higher capacity battery for hd2,this is the way to go.
and yes,i do know there are extended batteries selling online but they make my hd2 look like some high tech brick.
slim high cap batteries are a rare thing on hd2.
all of the different android builds are good for HD2 as for battery the trick is to start Android as fast as possible after starting your phone if you start it quick enough you will have 3-5mA in standby with almost every build as long as u have an updated kernal. Here is what I do and it works every time . I am using Energy's winmo rom it has a launch Android icon that you can place on the home screen as a quick link or free link. After you restart your phone just watch it soon as sense loads up and you see the home screen QUICKLY tap the home hard key to activate the lights then tap the LAUNCH ANDROID icon
thanx guys
mdj series or cynagenmod series, I like Typhoon...good luck
Hey all,
So I just got a new phone so am going to try to convert my old DInc to an mp3 player of sorts. I recently rooted and got s-off (whew! not easy on on this device) and have CM7 installed. I really like this ROM and its battery life, but was wondering if the community has any further suggestions for extending battery life. I have installed Titanium Backup to freeze some of the apps I don't need anymore, but heard once some stuff isn't safe to freeze. Can anyone tell me if it's safe to freeze apks like messaging and camera?
Next since I'm using this as a wifi only device so I don't need the mobile data. I went to my wireless settings and disabled data, but it still seems like its trying to connect to the Verizons network and kill my battery. I found a work-around for this by turning airplane mode on and then activating my wifi, but it would be nice to find a more permanent work-around especially since I'll also be using bluetooth.
Finally, I'm happy with CM7 and its light weight, but if anyone has a suggestion for an EVEN lighter weight ROM that'll extend battery life, I'd be welcome to hearing some suggestions.
Thank you in advance, community
I believe I saw a script that disables the network. It was in the development thread.. I still use it to get like 4 days of battery on my old dinc.

Awesome, but I think I'd rather having the ugly airplane in my status bar than the even uglier signal and X. Thanks though!
Youre def right, disabling data does AMAZING thibgs for my battery
You might want to use Gemini App Manager to try to disable every app that might possibly want to run without your permission.
Hey folks,
I have noticed that simply having apps installed (without actually running them, especially games) seem to decrease over all battery life.
Anyone else feel this way? Or am I over reacting?
is this why each app has an option to force close? a little piece of code runs in the back ground?
Some apps will turn on themselves without your knowledge. Thus, that is why you're experiencing battery loss. The apps keeps phone awake which prevents it from going to deep sleep to conserve power.
I recommend downloading a application from the play store called "Greenify". Ironic as this may sound this app allows you to detect apps that are running without your permission and you can simply stop them from running without your knowledge. There is an entire thread dedicated to this app.

The app is free in the play store.

Hi guys,
I ordered a GNote 3 and I'm really excited. But I read a lot of stories about the lollipop really buggy, memory leak, and battery drain. But I don't see many comments about these in the ROM thread, and someone mentioned that they like Stock lollipop better than CM12. Does this mean stock lollipop for Exynos is working fine? I don't have the device yet, so I have no way to try out yet myself, but I plan to flash my desired ROM right away when I get the phone. It could be one of the TW lolliop ROMs or CM12.
Just a note that I would love to run lollipop, and not kitkat. So could you please advise around that? Are there tweak that people use to fix the issues?
Thanks!
Hello!
Right now I have over a month testing the stock LP ROM on an exinos device, it has been quite a good experience, the ROM is very responsive, and although it has a huge memory leak (I have found my device running on RAM as high as 85% with no running apps, just running the processes needed for the OS to run) nevertheless I can harddly notice any lag n the system, I use Clan Master to monitor RAM usage, when I find my device I use the clean now feature, and the RAM usage goes back to around 60-65%.
On the battery subject I run my Note 3 paired via bluetooth with a Gear S, and I am getting between 20 to 24 hrs. Of continuos use, so taking into account I am always running with bluetooth on, I think I am getting a pretty decent usage time, I would like to let you know that I mustly connect to the internet via WIFI, only use Celllular Data when driving or in places where there is no WIFI available.
After installing LP ROM I went straight to rooting my device and installing Titanium Backup in order to be able to debloat, I have managed to uninstall APK that I found useless for me, and got rid of them, also I use Greenify and I have greenifyed every app not essential, I also use Startup Manager ( Free) to get control over what apks startsup.
Finally, I use tasker to get control over how my device handles the changes between Cell Data and WIFI.
I hope you find this information useful, and please excuse my english!
